This hypnotic groove is broken sporadically by some expansive syntsh and the overall result is inspiring. This is the kind of song that helps form bands. See Talking Heads for more.

So tonight's Hottest Record, 'Level Up', sounds extra special in the wake of some genuine success with his top 20 single 'Still Speeding' last Christmas. Sway is the genuine article, a musician and artist who knows where he needs to go and will work as hard as he has to to get there. With that equation, a result is never far away. It's simple mathematics.
